Qin Hanzhen just muttered a few words casually, and did not mean anything more serious. She has corresponded with Zhao Mo a lot over the years, and all kinds of trivial things are mentioned in the letter, if you have to ask carefully what it means, it will be endless.

At most, she just said a sentence or two when she replied to the letter, just as a joke.

Although I don't understand why the crown princess praised her, maybe Qin Jinchun said that she suggested that she take the initiative to withdraw from the election once she was sick? But it's not a big deal, it's Qin Jinchun himself who really makes the decision. It's easy to understand, everyone understands it, but not everyone has the courage to do it. Qin Jinchun immediately withdrew from the election, and she was eligible to be praised and appreciated by the crown princess. As for Qin Hanzhen himself, at most, he moved his lips, and he didn't think his suggestion was great.

Or is it ...... The crown princess praised her because she saw her paintings and thought she was good at drawing?

This may not be nothing, but it has only been a few days since Mr. Zeng took away her painting, and there has been no feedback, Zhao Mo can get the news so quickly? He is not in the capital!

Qin Han was really puzzled, and he didn't bother to think about it, anyway, he went back and wrote a letter to ask, it was the same. She wasn't in a hurry.

She continued to read the letter, and Zhao Mo only talked about some gossip and rumors in bits and pieces, some of which he heard from his correspondence with friends in Beijing, and some of which he heard from his people in the capital. She used to read these gossips, that is, to update her database, so that when she chatted with people, she didn't even know what was going on in the powerful people in the city. Occasionally, the gossip would be the subject of her conversation with her grandmother. The Niu family doesn't like to associate with the ladies of high-ranking families, but he is very interested in other people's gossip.

Probably because he only came to the letter last month, Zhao Mo didn't mention much gossip this time, but Qin Hanzhen was still quite interested. Because one of them mentions that there are two county lords of the county king's mansion who have taken a fancy to the grandson of the Xu family and are fighting openly and secretly. This has become a joke within the clan. However, the two county lords have parents who love and indulge them, and it is still unknown whose hands the grandson of the Xu family will end up into.

The grandson of the Xu family refers to Xu Zheng.

Zhao Mo would tell Qin Hanzhen this kind of gossip in the clan, because he had heard her mention that there was a possibility that the Changfang side would discuss marriage with the Xu family. He knew that she was friendly with Qin Jinhua, and asked her to remind the latter to be more vigilant. There are already two county lords over there who are involved in the competition, if neither of them refuses to back down, Qin Jinhua will step in for no reason, and it will not be a family that will be offended. Although the Chengenhou Mansion is a relative of the emperor, Qin Song has fallen out of favor for several years, and the backer is obviously not as stable as Qin Bai, so he is really on the same page as the prince of the clan, and he may not be able to take advantage of it.

Qin Hanzhen was quite surprised. Xu Zheng is a young man, he looks good, he has a good reputation in the capital, he can be regarded as a young talent, and it is not unusual to attract the hearts of many little girls with good family backgrounds. But now there are two clan girls who have fought for him, and their parents still have a conniving attitude, which makes people feel surprising. Is he really that good?

Qin Hanzhen has seen Xu Zheng a few times, and he does not deny that he is an excellent young man, but his charm has not reached this point, right?

In terms of appearance, he is just passable, his temperament is good, and his facial features are handsome, but in Qin Hanzhen's opinion, he is not as handsome as Zhao Mo. Zhao Mo's clan is noble, and his identity is not bad, why don't you see a little girl fighting for him?

As for his temperament, Xu Zheng seems to be quite gentle on the outside, but who knows what it is? Nowadays, the children of the official eunuchs, like the ladies, pay attention to pretending to be in front of outsiders. If you haven't had in-depth contacts, who can know what the other party's true feelings are?

When it comes to talent, Xu Zheng's level is still not low, which is personally certified by Qin Bai. But there are also a few prodigies in this dynasty, and Xu Zheng is not the most outstanding. Qin Hanzhen admires his grandfather Qin Bai the most in terms of learning, and Xu Zheng has also come to ask Qin Bai for homework more than once. Qin Bai's evaluation of Xu Zheng is that he is a good seedling, studious, and talented, but he has not yet reached the point of praise. In terms of this kind of evaluation, I am afraid it is not as good as Wang Fuzhong and Wang Fulin brothers.

Wang Fuzhong is now a celebrity in front of the emperor, with all talents, but he does not have the name of a talent. And Wang Fulin was also admitted to the exam, and he was a few years older than Xu Zheng. The Wang family is in the northwest, and Wang Fulin does not have such good conditions as Xu Zheng. In horizontal comparison, Xu Zheng, a talented man, is estimated to be in the top three among the students instructed by Qin Bai.

However, Xu Zheng was rumored to be famous as early as a teenager, and after years of precipitation, he has already been recognized by the whole Beijing. Coupled with his family background and appearance, it is normal for him to show his face in front of people, attracting several little girls from high-ranking families in the capital to sprout for him.

Qin Jinyi relied on the knowledge and talent of half a bucket of water, and dared to set up a "talented girl" for herself at a young age. Xu Zheng is really talented, his family background is good, and his reputation is worthy of the name.

Qin Han really thought about it, and felt that Qin Jinhua still had to take it easy. Changfang doesn't have to marry the Xu family anyway, and Xu Zheng is not the only candidate. Isn't it said that the eldest lady of the Xu family looks down on the girls of the Qin family, and is bent on choosing a granddaughter-in-law among the famous scholars? His family has not yet reached a unanimous opinion, so why should the Qin family get involved? In fact, in terms of age, Xu Zheng is much older than Qin Jinhua. If it weren't for Xu Zheng's delay in his marriage in order to prepare for the imperial examination, and he had not yet decided on a marriage, what the Qin and Xu families would discuss now would be the marriage between Xu Rong and Qin Jinhua.

Although the Qin family was not much afraid of the two county palaces, Qin Jinhua did not have to marry Xu Zheng, so why bother to provoke such an enemy?

Of course, this kind of thing, Qin Han really couldn't tell Qin Jinhua directly. As soon as the little girl's family mentioned their marriage, they were embarrassed, and they were embarrassed to discuss it in front of the elders, even if they heard what she said, they were just worried in vain. Even in front of the Xu family and the Yao family, Qin Hanzhen was not convenient to mention. The former is Xu Zheng's aunt and grandmother, and the latter is the mother of the calf, so it would be bad if there was any misunderstanding in his life. remembers that the Xu family once wanted her Qin Hanzhen to marry Xu Zheng, and there are still people who have not given up. If it was because she kindly reminded her for a while, it would be disgusting for people to misunderstand that she wanted to replace Qin Jinhua.

Qin Hanzhen took advantage of Qin Jian to come over to ask Qin Bai for homework, invited him to his courtyard, and quietly revealed the situation in Zhao Mo's letter to him.

Qin Jian sighed when he heard this: "I know about this, and he also mentioned it in the letter to me." I have already inquired, and there is indeed a clan county lord who is interested in Cousin Xu. Although he didn't say anything, but listening to Brother Rong'er, he was very worried now, and he had no intention of marrying a nobleman, but he was worried that if he offended others, it would be difficult for the Xu family to be happy. ”

Qin Han was really surprised: "This matter has already spread, I haven't heard of it!"

Qin Jian smiled bitterly: "This kind of thing, where can the third sister inquire about it? It is related to the two noble daughters of the clan, and it is a bit embarrassing to say." Don't look at the people in their clan in Guanglu talking about this, it seems that the discussion is rising, in front of outsiders, they usually don't mention it, and others pretend to be stupid when they ask, so they can't lose the face of the clan. It's me, if it weren't for the two best clan friends who are usually the best to ask them, they wouldn't reveal the news to me, and they wouldn't mention a word of accuracy, only saying that there were two noble girls fighting, but they didn't mention which family, and falsely said that they were interested in the grandson of the Xu family, not the eldest grandson or the second grandson. But this kind of thing doesn't need them to say too clearly. Except for Xu Zheng, there will be no one else. Xu Rong is far from his brother. ”

Qin Hanzhen frowned and said: "Then what should I do? In this situation, if the second sister doesn't mean that to Cousin Xu, it's better to be estranged as soon as possible, otherwise let the two noble girls know that she is discussing marriage with the Xu family, and they don't know what will happen." The second sister is different from me, I am a person who likes to stay at home, and I rarely go out to socialize. The second sister is used to going out with her elders and making friends with the ladies in the capital, so don't call someone to bully her outside. ”

Qin Jian said: "My mother has no intention of marrying his family for a long time, and she used to think that Cousin Xu was not bad. But looking at the face of the eldest lady of his family, who is willing to marry the precious daughter of the family? Although she is only a mother-in-law, it is not easy for an elder to want to toss his granddaughter-in-law? Now my mother is looking at my grandmother's sake, and she has not refuted the face of the Xu family, in fact, in private, she is already showing her second sister other people's families. Grandmother also knew about this and didn't say anything. ”

Qin Hanzhen's heart was relieved when he heard this: "Then don't worry." ”

Qin Jian shook his head: "It's not that simple. Even if our family has no intention of marrying the Xu family, the two families often come and go. Cousin Xu often came over to ask the third uncle for homework. What if a noble girl misunderstands her second sister? Our family can't see anyone, so we tell him, my sister didn't discuss marriage with Xu Zheng, right? Unless her marriage is really decided, it's useless to say anything. But how important is the marriage of the girl's family? How can it be decided rashly? If it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that those nobles of the clan will think crankily and turn their anger on my sister. ”

Qin Hanzhen snorted: "What are you afraid of? As long as the second aunt shows some rumors of looking at other families, outsiders will naturally no longer suspect the second sister." Who doesn't take months to look at each other? If you don't look at it, you don't think about it, anyway, you don't like the Xu family. ”

Qin Jian smiled: "Okay, I'll write to Guanglu when I go back and ask him to help me explain." He had correspondence with the elders of the clan, and he just happened to defend me. ”

The brother and sister went back to write letters. Qin Jian also made an appointment with Qin Hanzhen, and when the letter was written, he would hand it over to the people in the third room to deliver the letter on his behalf. Now that it is the end of the year, the Chengenhou Mansion is busy, and there is no extra manpower to go to Suning to deliver a letter for Qin Jian, but the Yongjiahou Mansion has sufficient manpower, and there is a messenger sent by Suning Wangfu, so sending one more letter is just a gesture.

The next day, Qin Hanzhen wrapped the written reply letter and a pair of velvet gloves knitted by himself, and delivered it to his grandmother, along with Qin Bai's reply letter and New Year's gift, and sent it back to Suning County. But when it was almost noon, Qin Jian hadn't come over to deliver the letter, so Qin Hanzhen was a little anxious. The messenger has to rush back to Suning, and it is impossible to delay too long. She hurriedly sent someone to look for Qin Jian next door.

After a while, the person she sent out turned back and said, "Girl, there seems to be a commotion over there. The second uncle personally led the eldest girl to apologize to the fourth girl, and the second wife also followed. However, the eldest girl cried and refused to get out of the car, so she made a fuss on the second door. ”

Qin Hanzhen's eyes widened in surprise. What the hell is going on?!
